Our user asked: "had a lateral rt knee replaement in 2001,left knee is now laterally bone on bone, but can not have a replacement due to a transplant what exercise should i do to strengthen my legs. the steroid injection helped the pain, but walking is a problem. is a recumbent cycle okay?"
 
Ask a PT Response: "Here is a good site with slides that display common exercises for patients to do that have knee OA.
http://www.webmd.com/osteoarthritis/joint-injections-9/slideshow-knee-exercises. Swimming and working out in the water are also commonly performed by patients with knee OA. From my experience, paitents with knee OA report it more comfortable to utilize a seated bike versus a recumbent bike. Therefore, the type of bike used is mostly based on patient preference. As always, it is always recommended to consult with your MD prior to beginning any exercise program. I wish you the best of luck. "
